From original shows and movies to an impressive lineup of classic films and legendary directors, there's plenty to be excited for next month on Netflix. Unfortunately, what streaming services giveth they also taketh away.

Let's start with the bad news first: "Ferris Bueller's Day Off," "The Princess Bride" and "The Usual Suspects" are all leaving your televisions. Plus, if you're a Joss Whedon fan, prepare to cry like he just killed off one of your favorite charming and unassuming characters – again! – because all of "Angel," "Buffy," "Dollhouse" and "Firefly" are leaving Netflix next month. 

Don't cry yourself too many April showers, however, because there's plenty of good stuff coming to help attempt to fill the Whedon-shaped hole in your life, from classics ("A Nightmare on Elm Street," "Cool Runnings," "Gremlins") to new gems like the beautiful stop-motion animated movie "Kubo and the Two Strings." Netflix's deal with Disney continues to pay off, as well, with the under-appreciated inspirational story "Queen of Katwe" and Steven Spielberg's "The BFG" coming to the streaming service. Wait, wasn't that supposed to be released last month? Huh ...

But speaking of Spielberg, have you ever been bored on a dull, quiet Saturday night and thought to yourself, "You know what I'm in the mood for? 'Schindler's List.'"? Well, you distressing weirdo, problem solved, because it'll be available next month. 

As has become standard, the originals are where most of the flashiest titles pop up for next month. Indie hits "Win It All" and "Small Crimes" will likely be little gems that you randomly hear your cinephile friends recommending next month, while the new series "Dear White People" will finally arrive on Netflix after stirring up some mild controversy among racists (psst, nobody tell them it's based on a movie that came out three years ago). Fun familiar faces Louis C.K. and Bill Nye are set to appear with new projects, the very expensive but also quietly very appreciated "The Get Down" will drop its part two and – oh my gosh, they actually did it; they made new "Mystery Science Theater 3000" episodes!

Feast your eyes upon its perfect shoddiness! Let the delightful cheapness massage your eyeholes!

So obviously – even with the dearly departeds – April is going to bring plenty of stream-worthy stuff to happily ring in the spring. And also Adam Sandler has a new movie, I guess.

As much as it is a gigantic cliché to say that one has always had a passion for film, Matt Mueller has always had a passion for film. Whether it was bringing in the latest movie reviews for his first grade show-and-tell or writing film reviews for the St. Norbert College Times as a high school student, Matt is way too obsessed with movies for his own good.

When he's not writing about the latest blockbuster or talking much too glowingly about "Piranha 3D," Matt can probably be found watching literally any sport (minus cricket) or working at - get this - a local movie theater. Or watching a movie. Yeah, he's probably watching a movie.
